I have lost 50lbs and I know that is no small success, however I feel like my "last 15" bother me more than when I just started and had 65 to lose. I cant explain it, and I know it doesn't make sense and of course I'm glad I'm 15lbs from my goal, rather than 65 still but this is how I feel. I am feeling VERY impatient even though I know it took me 8 months to lose 50 I want the 15 gone NOW. Does anyone else feel this way?

    YES!!! And, I have a hard time too, because everyone says I look so good and don't need to lose anymore. I find myself losing focus on my last 15, thinking "Well, it's only 15 pounds. Even if I never lose it, at least I'm in my healthy weight range." It's terrible!!!

    I really need to start thinking like that. I feel like the more I focus and obsess about it, the longer it is taking. Like watching water boil or something.

    yes. i have 14 to go and they wont leave. ive only lost 5 pds in a year. ive always been close to my goal so its super hard to loose
  • I get within a pound of my realistic goal, then gain back seven, then down and back. Try that for frustrating! We'll get there, though!:flowerforyou:

    It's so frustrating. I have 10 left. I did not lose 65. But I was at 152 and am at 134.1 and my goal is 125. And it just won't go away and it's all in my midsection. Everything else looks nice...lol! We just have to keep it up. MFP has helped me through all of this.
